  • a thermodynamic model of phosphate capacity for cao sio2 mgo feo fe2o3 mno al2o3 p2o5 slags equilibrated with molten steel during a top bottom combined blown converter Steelmaking Process based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory
    Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B-process Metallurgy and Materials Processing Science, 2011
    Co-Authors: Xuemin Yang, Meng Zhang, Jianping Duan
    Abstract:

    A thermodynamic model for predicting the phosphate capacity of CaO-SiO2-MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-MnO-Al2O3-P2O5 slags at the Steelmaking endpoint during an 80-ton top–bottom combined blown converter Steelmaking Process has been developed based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory (IMCT). The phosphate capacity has a close relationship with the phosphate capacity index, whereas the logarithm of phosphate capacity is 12.724 greater than that of phosphate capacity index at 1873 K (1600 °C). The developed phosphate capacity prediction model can be also used to predict the phosphate capacity index with reliable accuracy compared with the measured and the predicted phosphate capacity index of the slags by other models in literatures. The results from the IMCT phosphate capacity prediction model show that the comprehensive effects of iron oxides and basic components control the dephosphorization reaction with an optimal ratio of (pct FeO)/(pct Fe2O3) as 0.62. The determined contribution ratio of FetO, CaO + FetO, MgO + FetO, and MnO + FetO to the phosphate capacity or phosphate capacity index of the slags is approximately 0.0 pct, 99.996 pct, 0.0 pct, and 0.0 pct, respectively. The generated 2CaO·P2O5, 3CaO·P2O5, and 4CaO·P2O5 as products of dephosphorization reactions accounts for 0.016 pct, 96.01 pct, and 3.97 pct of the phosphate capacity or phosphate capacity index of the slags, respectively.

  • a thermodynamic model of phosphorus distribution ratio between cao sio2 mgo feo fe2o3 mno al2o3 p2o5 slags and molten steel during a top bottom combined blown converter Steelmaking Process based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory
    Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B-process Metallurgy and Materials Processing Science, 2011
    Co-Authors: Xuemin Yang, Jianping Duan, Yongliang Zhang, Meng Zhang, Jianchang Wang
    Abstract:

    A thermodynamic model for calculating the phosphorus distribution ratio between top-bottom combined blown converter Steelmaking slags and molten steel has been developed by coupling with a developed thermodynamic model for calculating mass action concentrations of structural units in the slags, i.e., CaO-SiO2-MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-MnO-Al2O3-P2O5 slags, based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory (IMCT). Not only the total phosphorus distribution ratio but also the respective phosphorus distribution ratio among four basic oxides as components, i.e., CaO, MgO, FeO, and MnO, in the slags and molten steel can be predicted theoretically by the developed IMCT phosphorus distribution ratio prediction model after knowing the oxygen activity of molten steel at the slag-metal interface or the Fe (t) O activity in the slags and the related mass action concentrations of structural units or ion couples in the slags. The calculated mass action concentrations of structural units or ion couples in the slags equilibrated or reacted with molten steel show that the calculated equilibrium mole numbers or mass action concentrations of structural units or ion couples, rather than the mass percentage of components, can present the reaction ability of the components in the slags. The predicted total phosphorus distribution ratio by the developed IMCT model shows a reliable agreement with the measured phosphorus distribution ratio by using the calculated mass action concentrations of iron oxides as presentation of slag oxidation ability. Meanwhile, the developed thermodynamic model for calculating the phosphorus distribution ratio can determine quantitatively the respective dephosphorization contribution ratio of Fe (t) O, CaO + Fe (t) O, MgO + Fe (t) O, and MnO + Fe (t) O in the slags. A significant difference of dephosphorization ability among Fe (t) O, CaO + Fe (t) O, MgO + Fe (t) O, and MnO + Fe (t) O has been found as approximately 0.0 pct, 99.996 pct, 0.0 pct, and 0.0 pct during a combined blown converter Steelmaking Process, respectively. There is a great gradient of oxygen activity of molten steel at the slag-metal interface and in a metal bath when carbon content in a metal bath is larger than 0.036 pct. The phosphorus in molten steel beneath the slag-metal interface can be extracted effectively by the comprehensive effect of CaO and Fe (t) O in slags to form 3CaO center dot P2O5 and 4CaO center dot P2O5 until the carbon content is less than 0.036 pct during a top-bottom combined blown Steelmaking Process.

  • Fuzzy Pattern Recognition of Steelmaking Process for Converter
    Advanced Materials Research, 2010
    Co-Authors: Qi Zhao, Meng Zhang, Yan Ru Chen
    Abstract:

    A new method is proposed for recognizing patterns of the Steelmaking Process based on the light intensity from the mouth of converter. By analyzing the fuzzy theory and the measurement of variation characteristics of the light intensity, the fuzzy pattern recognition system is established. And a simulation with Matlab is then performed. The experimental results show that the fuzzy system can identify the prophase, metaphase and anaphase periods of the Steelmaking effectively, and it provides a new method for the end-point auto-control of the converter Steelmaking.

  • Effect of Furnace Gas Composition on Characteristics of Supersonic Oxygen Jets in the Converter Steelmaking Process.
    Materials (Basel Switzerland), 2020
    Co-Authors: Liujie Yao, Guangsheng Wei, Rong Zhu, Yixing Tang, Kai Dong
    Abstract:

    During the converter Steelmaking Process, the presence of supersonic oxygen jets can provide oxygen to high-temperature metal baths that promotes chemical reactions in the bath, accelerates the smelting rhythm, and facilitates a uniform distribution of the ingredients in the bath. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with combustion reactions is established and compared to the results of combustion experiment. This paper studies the behavior and fluid flow characteristics of supersonic oxygen jets under different environmental compositions under a Steelmaking temperature of 1873 K. This validated CFD model can be used to investigate the effect of furnace gas on supersonic oxygen jet characteristics during the converter Steelmaking Process. The results indicate that the composition of furnace gas has an impact on the characteristics of the oxygen jet. Specifically, as the carbon monoxide (CO) volume fraction increases, the high velocity region of supersonic oxygen jet increases, and the high temperature and the high turbulent kinetic energy regions expand.

  • Effect of Lance Structure on Behavior of Coherent Jet in EAF Steelmaking Process.
    Materials (Basel Switzerland), 2020
    Co-Authors: Fuhai Liu, Guangsheng Wei, Rong Zhu, Shiliang Fan
    Abstract:

    During the electric arc furnace Steelmaking Process, the coherent jet technology was widely used to protect the kinetic energy of the supersonic oxygen jet and achieve better mixing effects. Comparing with the conventional oxygen lance, the coherent lance could increase the surface area of impaction cavity, resulting in a better stirring effect and higher reaction rate. However, there was limited research about the effect of restriction structure for the coherent lance tip on the flow field characteristic of the main oxygen jet. In this research, three kinds of restriction structures have been investigated by numerical simulation and combustion experiment at room and high ambient temperature conditions. Then an optimum restriction structure would be tested in a 75 t electrical arc furnace Steelmaking Process to verify its metallurgical property.

  • Utilization of carbon dioxide injection in BOF–RH Steelmaking Process
    Journal of CO2 Utilization, 2019
    Co-Authors: Baochen Han, Guangsheng Wei, Rong Zhu, Jiang Juanjuan, Feng Chao, Dong Jianfeng, Runzao Liu
    Abstract:

    Abstract Iron and steel industry is a large carbon dioxide (CO2) emitter, and it is important for iron and steel enterprises to utilize CO2 as a resource in the Steelmaking Process. The study involves reviewing recent innovations and advances in CO2 injection in the basic oxygen furnace (BOF)–Rheinsahl Heraeus (RH) Steelmaking Process. In BOF Steelmaking tests, CO2 injection reduces the amount of dust generation with 11.15%, increases CO concentration of the converter gas with 2.66%, increases dephosphorization rate with 6.99% and reduces the endpoint nitrogen content about 6 ppm, and protects bottom-blowing elements. In the RH refining Process, CO2 injection benefits the Process of dehydrogenation and removal of inclusions. Besides, some drawbacks and corresponding solutions of this technology are presented. Based on the results of a large number of theoretical and experimental studies, combining the mature technology of CO2 capture at present, a new cyclic utilization of CO2 in the BOF–RH Steelmaking Process is proposed to adapt for actual production in the iron and steel industry.
